April 18th, 2008 @ 3:50 pm by Mrs. Lovebug

Last minute blogging blitz here. I’m gonna cram a hodgepodge of things into one post, cuz that’s how I roll. It’s gonna be fast and messy, but that’s just what happens in the 11th hour. Ready?

PROGRAMS!

I didn’t think I could love Tara of Ephemera more than I already do. She proved me wrong:

sweetto011.jpg

lb2 sweetbott.jpg 

On the back, I had her print my wedding poem for Mr. Lovebug. The hubris, I know. But I just couldn’t see myself reading it, and this way, all the punning gets a chance of hitting its mark:

lb3 lovetop.jpg

lb4 progbott.jpg

CHARITY CARDS!

These will be tucked into everyone’s napkins, to explain our crazy charity tokens-as-favors:

lb6 sc.jpg

lb7 sctop.jpg

lb8 scbottom.jpg

The bowls for these will all be accompanied by small, table-tent descriptions and explanations that will hopefully photograph beautifully.

CLUTCH!

I don’t consider this a luxury. One, I’ll use it all the time. And two, it wasn’t insanely expensive:

lb9 bag.jpg

lb10 dem.jpg 

It’s a “custom order” (not like it’s any fancy fabric or whatever) silver satin “Eve” bag from Lauren Merkin, with my new initials!

FLOWERS!

I stopped by my florist to bug her about some micro-detail, and found her already at work on our stuff! I present, the lovely Elaine Taylor of the Grey House:

lb11 elaine.jpg 

Pomanders for the (alternating) chairs:

lb12 poms.jpg

And two of our centerpieces!:

lb13 flowers.jpg 

Cabbage roses, peonies, sweet peas, dusty miller, and other goodness I don’t know. She definitely brought in a bigger range of pinks than I was expecting - some cooler, some warmer - but that’s my fault for giving her the charity tokens as color reference. But, again, I’m ok with that. I think it’s still a sweet, vintage look. Plus, these colors are actually found in our candy buffet (it’s hard to get only soft pinks), so it’s all good.

Ok, I’m off to get ready for tomorrow. One last pre-wedding post from me tomorrow morning, and then I’m outtie!

so excited for you… yeah. quick question - when you get a chance to answer - did you get the monogramming done yourself? or when you ordered the purse?

Awesome!! And I think the flowers are fab–even though they’re not as subdued as your pallette, I think that might give them the color pop that you wanted. So pretty!

I am so excited for you and I so can’t wait for your wedding pics. Also, I think the flowers, although with more pink than you asked, will be fantastic, in that they will give you the extra pop of color you were so desiring! Congratulations Lovebug, I wish you and the Mister all the best!

(Also, since I’m out of town for the weekend and I won’t be able to wish you a happy day on your actual wedding day, three cheers to you and Mr. Lovebug today! May you have a lifetime of happiness together. :-))

Eeek, so excited! Can’t believe you’re going to blog tomorrow as well … you must know how addicted we are to some of that sweet type of love!

Those flowers are really going to bring those tables to life … I bet you’ll be glad you left the rest muted.

Congratulations! I’m sure I don’t need to tell you (but I will anyway)….SAVOR EVERY SINGLE MOMENT OF THE DAY! It will go by so quick! Like everyone else in the Hive, I can’t wait to see the pictures…you have put together so many cool details. Once again, congratulations (Mrs.) Lovebug!

P.S.- When you post pix, make sure you include some of Chaucer in his new collar. He’s so cute I just wanna bite him!
